Case Study: Central Electric streamlines materials procurement and reduces errors with Kojo

Central Electric catches a $200,000 invoicing mistake with Kojo

Central Electric, a family-owned electrical contractor, faced challenges with its reactive and inefficient materials management process. As the company grew under President Chris Martinez, the reliance on memory for planning and the lack of a unified system for material requests led to errors and redundancy. The vendor, Kojo, provided its materials management software to bring proactive, data-driven control to their procurement.

By implementing Kojo, Central Electric transformed its operations. The software enabled proactive planning using data from past projects, gave field teams a mobile app for transparent ordering, and automated invoice matching to eliminate errors. The results included smarter purchasing decisions and significant time savings. Kojo's solution also had a measurable impact, notably catching a $200,000 invoicing mistake, which boosted confidence in their financial controls.
